Our Premium Female Test analyzes your matrilineal descent from the earliest humans to the present, by testing the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) passed to you by your mother. Your mtDNA is screened for differences on two control regions known as HVRI and HVRII. The resulting “mutations” define your maternal lineage (the DNA of your mother, her mother and so forth, all the way back).
Your mtDNA mutations are researched in the Cambridge Mitochondrial DNA Concordance and other authoritative databases such as . A history of your particular female haplotype or lineage is presented as part of the report, with comparative frequencies in world populations.
